Frequently Asked Questions
Torrefaction simulates aging, resulting in a more open, responsive tone with a slightly warmer character and reduced stiffness – it’s a bit less bright and more immediately playable.
The ES-B is remarkably natural-sounding; it captures the guitar's tone very accurately, though some tweaking with EQ might be needed for optimal recording results.
The finish is a lacquer, so it's susceptible to scratches like any other polished surface; a pickguard is a wise investment to protect the top.
